Fascinating aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with some dried-herb undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, this has a solid core of fruit and a long and flavorful finish. Focused and tannin-driven with a lovely integration and intensity. A blend of 68% cabernet sauvignon, 22% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot. Give this three to four years to soften, but I am impressed with the energy here already. Try after 2028.

Strong and dark aromatics, blackcurrant, liquorice and salty stones. Juicy and lively on the palate, excellent acidity and freshness. There's something very precise and detailed about the flavours and fine tannins with lots of appealing fleshy berry fruit and licks of both mint, clove and coffee on the finish. Carefully constructed with lots of finesse and nuance. Sleek and streamlined with a lovely lift all the way through and such a long, moreish finish. Excellent quality from this estate that continues to improve.

Flowers with black currants, cigar wrappers, herbs, and underbrush in the complex aromatics. There is energy, vibrancy, refinement, and purity in the spicy currants on the mid-palate, and in the long, expressive, juicy finish. I like the brush of chocolate in the endnote. This is the finest vintage of Pedesclaux ever produced! Give it a few years in the cellar, and enjoy it over the following 2 decades or more.

Rich plum colour, vibrant edging, sleek and balanced, this is full of pleasure and precision. Generous in that you can feel the exoticism of the vintage in its ripe berry fruits but it has balance and the slate and liquorice character of Pauillac. 3.86ph, 37hl/h yield. 56% 1st wine in this vintage, first year organic certified (and the first classified estate to write this on the front label). Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen director. 65% new oak.

Bright black cherries, violets, leafy tobacco, and some meaty, iron, and mineral notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Pédesclaux, a beautifully textured, layered Pauillac that has medium to full-bodied richness, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. I think it’s certainly as good as the 2018, 2019, and 2020 and is a classic Pauillac from this team that will benefit from 4-5 years and evolve nicely over the following two decades.

This wine from Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, and the élevage was in 65% new barrels, a figure which matches (more or less) the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, and 35% second-fill barrels, for 17 months. This is the first vintage in which the wine wears its new and frankly much-improved label. The nose here is all toasted berry, cranberry, tobacco and dark chocolate, which precedes a juicy and charming palate with layers of rose-scented dark chocolate, tobacco and coffee bean, set across a ripe and tightly knit bed of tannins, which support this firm upper layer of spiced fruits. An impressive showing, with texture, depth, vivacity and harmony, this nevertheless needs time for it to all come together. Great length too, with a very complete style, and piles of ripe tannin in the finish. All in all a super result for Pédesclaux, one of the best vintages made here, with real potential. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 14%.
